Ask us anything you ever wanted to know about wedding photography and meet us in person. The most important thing when choosing a wedding photographer is that you get on with the person and start building a rapport from the first meeting. A good photographer will be able to reassure you and will be open to answer questions about your concerns.

If you have your own ideas about wedding photography - why not share them with us? Sometimes, our clients send us sample photographs and funny ideas to re-create on the wedding day. We try to incorporate your ideas into our way of working so we capture your day and the special moments the best we can.

Meet us at the Orocco Pier Wedding Fair on Sunday, 1st November from 12 pm - 4 pm. One of our previous clients - Yvonne - who was married in March this year - will be also there to answer any questions - from a bride's perspective. (some photographs can be seen here)

See you then :-)

A rainy autumn shoot - with fantastic images!

Today we met Catherine at the amazing Norton House Hotel, near Edinburgh, to take some photographs. The weather wasn't on our side, but that's no reason to cancel a session! We managed to take some romantic autumn photographs as well as some edgy urban images of Catherine - and we didn't get wet at all!

Cheers to Donna and Gary

Donna and Gary exchanged vows yesterday during a romantic and fun (!) ceremony which was followed by a great reception at the North Queensferry Hotel. Congratulations to you both! Everybody was so helpful at the reception and so relaxed too. We had lots of time for additional photographs before dinner and even during the evening celebrations when we took the bride away for some sneaky flash images in the long corridors...

We hope you have a lovely honeymoon and we will see you when you get back.

Just before the receiving line, I saw the big collection of champagne glasses which I used as a frame for this magnificent image.

Never mind the business... Alvin Stardust... £85K

How does this all go together? Last night, I was taking photographs at the "Never mind the business" event at the Glasgow Hilton Hotel, organised by the charity Action for Children. 500 people had an amazing evening with different quizzes, (strange but cool!) actors and the evening entertainment which was moderated by Clyde 1 Radio's presenter Peter Martin.

Nobody knew who the surprise band was going to be, but everybody was singing along when Alvin Stardust came on stage. It was a very successful evening and the charity raised over £85000.

What a wonderful lady!

Shirley is celebrating an important birthday very soon and wanted to fulfil a dream of hers. She wanted to have a lovely portrait of herself together with a grey (white!) horse. We managed to persuade a friend who has the gorgeous boy "Desmond" who was only too happy to pose for the photographs!

Shirley is overjoyed with the images and cannot wait to show them off in her home.

The shortest Engagement shoot ever...

Today, we met Joanne and James, who are getting married at the amazing Roxburghe Hotel in Kelso in December this year. Because they had a day full of appointments, they decided not to have a pre-shoot, simply to save time. But we were cheeky and asked for 5 minutes and we managed to get a small selection of romantic and fun photographs of the two of them.

Their wedding will be fantastic and we cannot wait to see them again.

Studio photos? Or maybe not?

Just recently, a client brought her 2 boys to the studio. We spent a bit of time in the studio, building towers, playing (soft!) football etc. and we ended up with some amazing photos. Ross, the little one, was a bit shy to start with, but he soon felt at ease and enjoyed his time. Arran, 10, is a little poser and was all too happy to try out different things.

But as the session was over and the family was about to leave, I asked them if I could take just a few photos of the boys outside.

The little one was all too keen to copy his brother which resulted in a cool photograph of the two of them. In the studio, it was difficult to pose them, but outside, "magic" just happens ;-)

Even though the decision was a tough one when it came to the image selection, the family decided on a stunning multi-frame with images I took outside rather than the ones taken in the studio.

Dalmahoy and Fireworks

Debbie and Chris celebrated their wedding at the Dalmahoy Hotel and Country Club near Edinburgh yesterday. An amazing couple who had lots of surprises for their friends and family including fireworks in the evening.

As always, we try to capture the little details that tell the story of the day. Their wedding photographs will be released once they are back from their honeymoon. Today, I am simply adding a photo to the blog which I saw when I was taking photographs of the table decorations. Little things like this add this little bit extra in your wedding album.

Roula and Peter at Lennoxlove

Roula and Peter from Abu Dhabi were married at Lennoxlove House in August 2009. Family and friends travelled from Lebanon, UAE, and the South of England to join them in their celebrations. Lebanese traditions, such as the Zaffa dance before the main meal as well as the Dabke Dance during the evening, were mixed with the cutting of a stunning wedding cake and a special first dance performance by Roula and Peter.

The below images show a small selection from a great day.
